The roots are counted with multiplicity (and are nonzero, by definition).
Unlike A282692, this sequence is not monotonic.

EXAMPLE

a(1) = 1 from 1-x.
a(2) = 2 from 1+x-x^2.
a(3) = 3 from 1-x-x^2+x^3 = (1-x)*(1-x^2).
a(7) = 5 from x^7 + x^6 - x^5 - x^4 - x^3 - x^2 + x + 1 = (x - 1)^2*(x + 1)^3*(x^2 + 1). - Chai Wah Wu and W. Edwin Clark, Feb 23 2017
a(13) = 7 from x^13 + x^12 - x^11 - x^10 - x^9 - x^8 + x^5 + x^4 + x^3 + x^2 - x - 1 = (x - 1)^3*(x + 1)^4*(x^2 + 1)*(x^2 - x + 1)*(x^2 + x + 1). - Chai Wah Wu, Feb 24 2017
